The Rangers’ “clever business” may lead to “dramatic” earnings, which is commendable.
In this transfer window, Rangers has already added a number of promising young players as Philippe Clement steers the team in a different path. Oscar Cortes, Connor Barron, Jefte, and Clintion Nsiala have all signed contracts to become members of the manager’s new team; Hamza Igamane is anticipated to follow.
Rangers may have an immediate problem, as former Hibernian midfielder and compatriot Merouane Zemmama told The Scottish Sun. The Morocco youth international’s reputation is developing.
Hamza Igamane’s catch to Rangers transfer bonus revealed Igamane will be looking to emulate Alfredo Morelos’s feat of unseating his senior colleagues upon moving to Scotland.
There are rumors that Cyriel Dessers may be leaving and that the Nigerian international has requested a transfer, which would leave Danilo as his only opponent going forward. Rangers may not even get the 21-year-old’s first opportunity to shine on a major platform, as former Hibee Zemmama has revealed that Clement may not even have a striker for the team when the season even starts: “Morocco qualified for the Olympics, and larger clubs will undoubtedly keep an eye on its players if they do well.
“Hamza’s worth will drastically alter if he competes in the Olympics and does well. The Rangers may have made a really astute move in signing him at this time. In Morocco, qualifying for the Olympics is a major event. In the last three competitions, this is the first time the nation has ever qualified. “Last year, Hamza was included in the African Under-23 Cup of Nations team.
“He was substituted in the semi-final, which took place at the stadium of his team, Far Rabat, but he was injured and had to be replaced, therefore he was not present for the final. Nevertheless, Morocco managed to secure the prize and earn a spot in the Olympics. King Mohammed VI was shown the team after they had won the cup and was congratulated. “The Olympic team has not yet been announced, but I would be shocked if Hamza wasn’t included.”
For what duration may Igamane be absent? The first game against Morocco is scheduled for July 24 and the championship match for August 9.
Because of the international football schedule, the competition is shortened, with the last group match scheduled for July 30. The Rangers’ August 6–7 and August 13–14 Champions League qualifiers should provide an insight of how this can affect their preparations. The first day of the domestic season is August 3/4. Even though countries in Africa and South America hold the Olympics in higher respect than they do in Europe, it is still a major event that draws millions of viewers.
It’s an Under-23 competition, meaning that three players older than 23 are permitted, so it’s a showcase for potential future stars. Rangers will be hoping that Igamane is one of those players who lights up the competition to increase his value, but that he returns to his rightful place once the real game starts.
